Default Need a new car!!!

As of this morning, i'm in need of a new car. The engine on my navigator just blew up! *sigh*

Decided to look for a Lexus, pref the IS 350 in Black Sapphire Pearl (that's the color I've fallen in love with!)

Looking to buy cash.

Budget of $30K.

I'm a novice when it comes to Lexus. Previously owned an M3.

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Thank you!



*edit: my friend tells me Midnight Blue is the same as Black Sapphire Pearl -- ???

Midnight Blue? There's the Blue Onyx Pearl (2006 only), and the Black Sapphire Pearl (2007-2010) which I read, it's slightly darker.

Black Sapphire Pearl - that's the one.

I saw one here:

But I don't like the color of the interior...

Trust me bro, I already got hell from the NELOC (regional subforum) guys...not to mention the jokes at the last meet...BUT once everyone took a ride in it they were surprised- in a good way. Real comfortable and an amazing experience to drive AND sit in.

But still...all in all Lexus is a more reliable car... nothing beats peace of mind!

If you can spend some more, a new IS350 AWD model will be coming in a few months.
